Every day we see a diversity of students, visitors, government workers, bankers, restaurateurs, medical professionals, lawyers, entertainers, artists, accountants, and logistics experts who crisscross our city living lives of promise and hope. Their presence is reason for all of us to have resilient attitudes. Downtown has become a model of diversity for the region.

Our 7th Annual Development Day in November was perhaps our best ever opportunity to network and learn. Central Atlanta Progress (CAP) also initiated multiple Downtown Dining District and restaurant events, while forging creative solutions in parking and transportation. S. Taylor Glover, Craig Jones, AJ Robinson, Additionally, improvements were started in 2009 with CAP Chair ADID Chair President, funding from the Atlanta Downtown Improvement & CAP Vice Chair CAP/ADID District (ADID) and other sources for streetscapes and public areas as part of Imagine Downtown Implementation 2.0.

4 Our goal of building a safe community is always a priority. Building a safe Downtown is a multifaceted endeavor and one that involves all of us doing our part to support the work of the Atlanta Police Department (APD) and other public safety agencies in addressing crime and quality of life issues.

Even with a shortage of police and additional furloughs, crime Downtown was down. There was a 12% reduction in crime in the Downtown Improvement District from 2008 to 2009 with an 18% reduction in automobile larceny.

6 Realizing new value in making central Atlanta more livable. In many ways, the growth and success of Atlanta was realized through its value proposition. Living in a beautiful and diverse culture at affordable prices has brought businesses, visitors, students, and residents to Downtown – and yet we continued to add value in 2009.

8 Our diverse cultures, enterprises and attitudes help us respond to change.

There is no doubt that the diversity of Atlanta has been a tremendous asset in responding to changes that occur in our economy, environment, politics, and relationships. We all need a diversity of perspectives and experiences to help us weather challenges. Having opportunities to come together voluntarily will help prepare us for the times when we really need each other.

Woodruff Park Downtowners Seasonal programming at Woodruff Park is a CAP also promoted a change of pace from great place to come together for weekly live music the stressful daily grind by hosting six evening in the gazebo area on Wednesdays.

In a spirit of bringing people together, about one hundred volunteers helped paint the 125-foot mural by artist Louis Delsarte commemorating the life of Martin Luther King, Jr. Delsarte, a renowned figurative expressionist also teaches at Morehouse College. The mural is located at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Natatorium.

10 Our creative and innovative talents drive our economic viabilit y. Economic development has always been a central focus for CAP. In 2001 we launched an Economic Development Department dedicated to promoting the economic viability of Downtown. In 2009 our Department was working hard to provide our stakeholders and members with the research support and development assistance they needed to enhance their piece of the marketplace.

12 Making smart choices in the past have made Downtown accessible and clean.

We may remember 2009 as the year we made great strides in delivering parking solutions for Atlanta through a coalition of CAP/ADID, APD, and parking operators of surface lots and garages to improve the overall parking experience Downtown and mitigate parking lot crime. We facilitated four Parking Stakeholder Forums and two working sessions last year. CAP also hosted six Downtown Transportation Committee forums to inform stakeholders on projects and issues affecting Downtown accessibility.

We also saw continued benefits from the efforts of the Downtown Transportation Management Association (TMA) with the reduction of over 33 million miles from being traveled in single occupancy vehicles.

Biking and Walking Whether it was the Bikefest in May or the Walk There Challenge in October, the Downtown TMA promoted smart choices that provide a more livable Downtown. These programs accomplish incremental growth in participation and awareness that is key in seeing societal change and adoption of cleaner forms of transportation. The Walk There Challenge actually gets people walking. In September, 1,500 pedometers were given out and participants competed to win weekend getaway packages in Downtown Atlanta by walking to lunch, walking to shop, walking at home or, for some, actually walking to work.

Clean and Green The Downtown TMA launched the ‘Whatever Kind of Green You’re Into’ consumer marketing campaign in 2009. The campaign focused on two aspects of clean commuting: helping the environment, and earning and saving money through incentive programs. All of this and more can be found at information kiosks This statue of John Pemberton, the inventor of Coca-Cola, is for the TMA throughout Downtown. located next to the World of Coca-Cola as a reminder of our history in economic endeavor and hospitality.

14 Our hospitalit y and entertainment attributes are foundational for our success.

It is no secret that the economic downturn has had a major impact on restaurants and the overall hospitality industry across the board. But there are signs of that resilient spirit in the newly launched Downtown Dining District that boasted 31 members in its inaugural season. In 2009 the Downtown Restaurant Week was expanded to two weeks. Over 60,000 dinners were served over the course of the anchor event.

Marketing through social media By using Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, and Twitter, CAP connected with a new audience for promoting Downtown’s assets and events. The Downtown Atlanta fan page on Facebook has 1,000 fans and some 1,100 followers on Twitter.

Downtown Holiday Adventure CAP launched a 50-day promotion of Downtown assets for shopping, entertainment, and dining in mid-November in an effort to help residents and visitors with all there is to see, do, and buy Downtown.

2010 Holds Great Promise There are many reasons to be optimistic about the year ahead as several stakeholders of Downtown implement new programs. The new dolphin exhibit is scheduled to open at the Georgia Aquarium in late 2010. Georgia State University will field its first football team and will play their home games at the Georgia Dome. Additional streetscapes and park enhancements will make Downtown Just as the success of Downtown is based upon the commitment of diverse more inviting to those who attend games, conventions, groups, agencies, and industries to work together, the creating and placing of festivals, marts, shows, galleries, jobs, services, and projects that occur on a daily basis.
